GE Corded 29897GE2 Phone with Speakerphone, Call Waiting Caller ID and Digital Answering System - Black Reviews
Unplugging and plugging it in again clears this up but not for long. This phone screeches an annoying pitch as the caller is attempting to leave a message. Plus the recording quality is poor.
I followed the instructions of some of the one-star reviews and unplugged the phone for a few minutes. I own the white version of this phone and received a "MEMORY FULL" error message. Thank God for Amazon.com reviews. I bought this phone about 2 years ago. The phone would not record new messages even though it only held only a dozen messages previously. After this phone dies, I won't buy another GE corded phone. After plugging the phone back, the answering machine started working again.
If you are, then it's just two out of three that it falls. This is a good thing because of the feature-overload so many things today suffer from. However, the phone in question feels terrible in the hand, has sub-par sound on the handset, and the cradle is very poorly designed; the phone falls out nine times out of ten unless you're very careful when you hang it up. The phone looks alright and is relatively easy to use, has a decent features list, and doesn't really have any wasted features. As a result, I can't really recommend the phone for anything other than occasional use.
Hope this helps However, all you have to do is to unplug the phone from the electrical outlet for a few minutes and then plug it back in. Other reviews have complained that this speakerphone informs callers that the answering machine is full when it isn't and will not allow callers to leave messages. It corrects itself automatically. This just happened to us following a short power outage (even with a surge protector).
Do that and your mother-in-law will really like you. Then the phone's original message will be restored.
The phone went out and now its just a machine. I want you to fix it.".
The way to fix it is to unplug the phone for a few minutes. My mother-in-law owns one of these phones.
As she said, "fix my phone. The same problem that everyone else has been having on this list with the answering machine going dead and the voice saying "memory is full we've got that problem, too.
